OK I get it now. I was thinking...Hmmmm. can he read bookshare book as I do 
my textbooks-insert CD & let JAWS do his thang. And YES! I get an Opps 
upside my head since I totally forgot about braille embossers/displays Lol. 
Greg, I sincerely hope that I didn't offend you or upset you in any way :-) 
If I did, please forgive me because I apologize. Should you attend the 
convention next July, I'll be the one wearing a Braile/large print sign that 
will read-"Gotta get a little pinch from Greg!! Ouch!!!" :-)
